In those painting kits my girlfriend and I bought were these little artist model fellows. So of course I had to draw a domino mask on mine which led to the idea of this guy. I don't know what to call him but I thought the story would be something like...
An anonymous comic book artist/cartoonist draws a superhero outfit on this wooden artists model. What the artist doesn't know is that while they sleep, the power of the artist's imagination brings the little guy to life AND bestows upon him superpowers allowing him to fight crime. But only when the artist is asleep. I know it sounds alot like the Marvel character Sleepwalker but oh well. Just an idea rambling around my head.
Cute! I've been trying to think of a name but they all end up being an innuendo. you something about wood and stuff lol. How about Powerpuppet? The Mighty Matchstick? I give up.
